KUALA LUMPUR, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- A group of Malaysian medical experts, alumni of China's Peking University, organized a free clinic event for residents in Selangor state, offering health check-ups and screenings for chronic conditions.

The clinic attracted around 100 local residents on Saturday, who also participated in a health talk titled "Fall Prevention and Post-Fall Consequences for the Elderly" and received home health kits provided by the organizers.

Lee Wei Thing, representing the Medical Committee of the Peking University Alumni Association of Malaysia, expressed the pleasure about hosting this event to promote health awareness among the community. "As Malaysia moves towards an aging society, we're pleased to offer fall prevention screenings and deliver an informative lecture on protective measures for the elderly," he said.

The one-day event was organized by the Peking University Alumni Association of Malaysia in collaboration with Selangor State Executive Councilor Ng Sze Han, and the Puchong Kinrara Resident Committee, and was supported by the Chinese Embassy in Malaysia, the Malaysia-China Friendship Association, and China Construction Yangtze River (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd.
